I was a fan of this book the 1st time I read it, but didn't realize at the time it was book #4 in a series! I'm now reading the rest of the series and just got back to this one. Parts of it made so much more sense this time around! Definitely make sure to read the Mr. Mercedes trilogy before you read The Outsider!! 

Great book as always with King. Some super graphic scenes so definitely not for the faint of heart, but you could say that about most of his work.
